"Master Lü, open it, open it..."
The spectators gambled, eager to see the dice in Lü Junchen’s cup.
With eyes closed, Lü Junchen cleared his throat and said with difficulty, "There’s no need to open it, she guessed correctly!"
Excitement stirred the crowd. The familiar gamblers came together, whispering to each other, their gazes towards Cai Wei now filled with reverence.
"Master Lü, shall we continue?"
Cai Wei sneered, her eyes full of mockery when she looked at Lü Junchen.
Lü Junchen’s face turned purple with rage and he gritted his teeth, "Let’s!"
Even though he couldn’t be certain if this little b*tch had any magical abilities, losing a match would be a lesser problem than losing his dignity. If he were to admit defeat now, chances are he would lose face forever in Qingyun Town!
Cai Wei chuckled, taking the dice cup and shaking it again. As shakes became tiresome she casually said, "I’m about to reveal now!"
Lü Junchen was stunned. He’d been listening closely to the dice she rolled earlier, and the numbers were precisely 5, 3, and 1.
How could she roll 5, 3, and 1 during a game supposed to play for lower numbers? It was utterly mind-boggling. With a swish, Cai Wei lifted the dice cup to reveal the numbers.
The crowd cheered in unison, and the applause that followed rang out like waves.
In Cai Wei’s dice cup, the three dice were stacked one on top of the other, and the top one had the number 1 facing up.
Lü Junchen’s face turned white. A buzzing sound filled his ears. Now, he could confirm that this little b*tch indeed had some wicked way. Comparing his gambling skills to her inexplicably deceptive trickery, he was simply a mosquito trying to shake a tree!
He looked at Cai Wei, his eyes complex, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
Cai Wei crossed her arms, giggled, and spoke slowly, "I - want - you - to - lose!"
Lü Junchen muttered, "Miss, your use of such despicable sorcery could get you prosecuted by the government. Is it worth taking such a risk just to beat me?"
Cai Wei laughed mockingly, "I haven’t committed adultery nor have I slipped someone an aphrodisiac, so your accusation is baseless. As for sorcery, well, seeing is believing. Master Lü, why not ask everyone here if they saw me use some kind of magic. If you can’t prove it, I might have a problem with that."
He saw how bold and bawdy she was, ready to fight at any moment, left Lü Junchen helpless, "Miss, let’s discuss this privately. Regarding the loss of your restaurant, I will triple compensate you, alright?"
Lü Junchen was in deep despair. If he had known that this little b*tch possessed magical skills, he would never have provoked her. He would have done everything to avoid her.
Now, it was clear that she had come for revenge. Always seeing himself as superior, he had to swallow his pride and speak to her in a low toned voice.
Lü Junchen’s voice was extremely low, audible only to Cai Wei. There was sincere desire in his eyes, as if he would agree to any demand from Cai Wei as long as she let him off.
However, Cai Wei raised her voice suddenly and said loudly, "What? Master Lü doesn’t want to gamble anymore, does that mean he admits defeat? If so, Master Lü, according to our agreement, you should kneel down and apologize to me, and promise in front of everyone here not to be an enemy of my Baifu Winery."
With Cai Wei’s sudden outburst, everyone learned that the famous Master Lü was begging this mere girl for mercy. Instantly, Lü Junchen’s dignity was swept away, his reputation completely ruined. With a red face, he awkwardly faced the astonished eyes of the crowd. Some were surprised, others were disdainful, while some simply sneered. Their various expressions made him feel utterly humiliated...
